The grievous state of the wicked8. The excellence of God's mercy 10. David prays for favor to God's children (6) Great mountains.--See margin, and compare Psalm 80:10, "cedars of God." So too the rain is called "God's brook." The epithet not only implies greatness and dignity, but also has reference to God as Creator. A great deep.--The reference, as usual, with the words deep, depth, is to the great abyss of waters, of which the seas were regarded as the surface. The twofold comparison in this verse recalls Wordsworth's lines-- "Two voices are there: one is of the sea. One of the mountains--each a mighty voice." but while to the modern poet the voice is Liberty, to the ancient Hebrew it is Righteousness. The majesty of the hills has often suggested the supremacy of right over wrong-- "Thou hast a voice, great mountain, to repeal Large codes of fraud and woe." The calm of the infinite sea has often soothed agitated souls. Hebrew poetry connected both immediately with God. the uplifted strength of the hills became an emblem of His eternal truth; the depth and expanse of the infinite sea of His outspread goodness and inexhaustible justice. Verse 6. - Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; literally, like the mountains of God; and so Luther, Rosenmuller, Hengstenberg, Kay, Cheyne, and the Revised Version. According to the Hebrew idiom, this means "the very greatest mountains" - those which seem to stand the strongest and the firmest. Thy judgments are a great deep; i.e. such as man cannot fathom - unsearchable - past finding out. O Lord, thou preservest man and beast. The providential care of God for his creatures is another of his leading characteristics, and one especially deserving man's attention and gratitude. It is a form of his loving-kindness.Parallel Commentaries ...
